Also included in the project\u2019s last stage are some updates at the Gabriel Richard Park, where developers will add a new parking lot and a bicycle path. Two small parcels of land on either side of the Chene Park will be redeveloped and integrated in the RiverWalk so that visitors will not have to take a detour to get to Atwater Street, notes the <em>Free Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The city\u2019s RiverWalk is part of the Detroit International Riverfront that borders the Detroit River and includes several public parks, restaurants, shops and residential and commercial buildings. For decades the area had been a soaring view for Detroiters because of its vacant and decrepit structures, but in recent years the conservancy agency has been focusing on transforming the Detroit Riverfront into a new recreational space for city dwellers with financial help coming from private investors\u2014such as General Motors who, in 2002, awarded $135 for the redevelopment project\u2014and federal grants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/news\/market-snapshot-as-auto-industry-bounces-back-detroit-sees-sharp-increase-in-multifamily-rentals\/1004049836.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Click here<\/a><\/strong> for more market data on Detroit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Photo Courtesy of KevinSnyder.info<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor In an effort to wrap up the remaking of the 5.5 mile RiverWalk that connects the Ambassador Bridge and Belle Isle, the city of Detroit received a total of $44 million in state and federal grants as financial support for the final stage of construction.
